Carla Bruni's New Boots

bruni-dt.jpg
The French president's girlfriend just appeared in an ad for an Italian car company and now she's featured in a two-page spread in a Spanish men's magazine wearing nothing but black leather boots and diamond ring. It's all prompting a frosty reaction in France.

The latest escapade in the Sarko-Bruni affair will do little to promote the French president's "Return to Seriousness" campaign. The hyperactive president — who loves nothing better than to surprise his friends and enemies alike and has of late best been known for his public displays of affection with a certain former supermodel — has once again seen his efforts to be taken seriously as a politician vaporize.

Sarko's glamorous girlfriend Carla Bruni, 39, has stripped for a spread in the Spanish men's magazine DT and allowed herself to be photographed in come-hither poses. But while a photo shoot like that may be routine for a top model, it could escalate into a national scandal for the woman apparently posed to become France's next first lady.

I'm waiting for the first softcore porn shot or internet sex video 'accidently' released by an old boyfriend.

It's coming. Just wait…
